Grade 12 Student Dies After Participating in a Paint Race

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

It's a con. It pretends to be a race for charity but in fact is a race for a private corporation which hands a tiny slice of cash to charity and keeps the rest. Participants are sprayed in colored dyes...

No, no. That was the "I've pledged more cash with 101 hidden caveats that I know I'll never pay out' race.

Yeah I know several Cambodans who attended. It's been popular in the west for a few years now. I doubt one could get "poisoned" by the dye as it's corn starch, but I guess if someone threw a bag of it at you, it could obstruct your breathing passages/choke you.
